Cannot Manage Google Cloud DNS NS Records

[hashibot]

This issue was originally opened by @j0sh3rs as hashicorp/terraform#14796. It was migrated here as part of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

---

When Terraform creates a google_dns_managed_zone, the zone automatically gets created with NS records specific to Google Cloud (nameservers they provide that the zone will live on). Terraform does not import these NS records into state, so all future attempts to add or manipulate NS records in any Google Cloud Zone will fail, citing that the record set already exists:

* google_dns_record_set.clouddns_ns: Error creating DNS RecordSet: googleapi: Error 409: The resource 'entity.change.additions[0]' named 'domain.com. (NS)' already exists, alreadyExists

Terraform Version

$ terraform -v
Terraform v0.9.5

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

• google_dns_managed_zone
• google_dns_record_set

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "google_dns_managed_zone" "public" {
  name        = "domain-name"
  dns_name    = "domain.com."
  description = "domain.com"
}

resource "google_dns_record_set" "clouddns_ns" {
  count = "${var.type == "NS" ? 1 : 0}"
  name = "${var.name == "" ? format("%v.", var.domain) : format("%v.%v.",var.name,var.domain)}"
  type = "${var.type}"
  ttl  = "${var.ttl}"

  managed_zone = "${replace(var.domain, ".", "-")}"

  rrdatas = ["${formatlist("%v.", var.value)}"]
}

module "domain-com-NS" {
  source = "../../modules/pub_dns_record"
  domain = "domain.com"
  name   = ""
  type   = "NS"
  value  = ["ns1.example.com", "ns2.example.com"]
  ttl    = "172800"
}

Expected Behavior

Terraform should either automatically import the NS records into state for management, or provide some method for managing them

Actual Behavior

NS records are completely unmanageable and must be manually adjusted

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. terraform apply

Important Factoids

This generally applies to all GCE zone sets, not just to ones Terraform creates

It would also be useful to be able to import existing zones as resources I think?
